Land's End

[dirt_heart]

[Seafood and steak, the banner strung along the counter proclaims, and the accuracy of that is clear as you glance over the range available. Large dishes of grilled shrimp, buttery crab claws and roasted salmon take centre stage, while steaks are cooked to order on the large grills behind the counter, and sides of fries or salad are added to your plate on request. There are pots of bouillabaisse or clam chowder to be served with fresh crunchy bread, if something softer takes your fancy, and even though he's busy talking to as many people as possible, Kelly's more than happy to cook up a burger or two, if you'd prefer to keep things simple.]

[Hello. It's really a terrible pity you're on the savory side of things... he's going to obligated not to vote for you (don't kid yourself, he couldn't give less of a fuck, he was never going to fill out one of those ballots.) But he will wander over to see if you're really as good of a cook as you claim to be.]

[dirt_heart]

[He's trying to greet each customer with a smile, but as he turns to Zinc, it fades a little, gets tighter at the edges. But he can't turn anyone away, that's not in the rules of the game, and he doesn't really have grounds to, either. It's just an uncomfortable situation that he didn't want to get into. But he's an adult - which means he's got plenty of experience in feigning ignorance.]

See anything you'd like to try?

[1ntagli0]

[His head tilts, very slightly. He's wondering if Kelly really just said that. There's something mocking in his eyes, because there are a number of incredibly crass ways he could respond to that and Kelly would have walked into every single one of them.

He settles for,]

No.

[Just staring.]

[dirt_heart]

[He knows how it could have been taken, and part of it was deliberately done, purely to see if Zinc would use it to say something inappropriate or leave it alone. He's vaguely pleased he left it, even if it does essentially leave him with a customer who appears not to want anything. He nods his head towards the other side of the area, at Ned's counter.]

Maybe you'd prefer pies, then.

[1ntagli0]

That wasn't much of a pitch.

[If we're playing double entendre, he can handle that just fine.]

[dirt_heart]

I've never been much of a pitcher. [He says it with a completely straight face, doesn't want the game to turn into anything resembling flirting. That was the opposite of the point.] I generally let my food do the talking.

[1ntagli0]

Clearly not.

[Uhuhuhuhuhu... oh no. It's not quite a smirk, but you're really doing poorly at this, Kelly.]

[dirt_heart]

Maybe if you actually tried some.

[He has no idea what you mean, he's just talking about food here.]

I'm sorry I missed out on the food the last time I stopped by.

[Said after seconds of shrimp and a half eaten salad. You might have a vote here, Ned.]

[dirt_heart]

[Kelly just smiles at that.]

I can't really say food was top of my priority list at the time. And you certainly seem to be making up for it, anyway. Did you want to try anything else, or is it just shrimp for you today?

[Giles points at the crab's legs.] Can you spare some of those?
